How the DEALCIRCLE financing process works

Deal Flow

The DEALCIRCLE team supports over 1,500 sell-side sales projects of hundreds of M&A advisors every year.

Network

As a result, we are in regular contact with our network of financiers and provide you with the necessary overview of the current financing conditions.

Pre-structuring

DEALCIRCLE structures possible transaction financing on the basis of project-specific KPls.

Targeted and anonymous approach

DEALCIRCLE only approaches financiers who are eligible for the respective transaction financing.

Query of interests

The financiers approached confirm in a personal meeting with us that they are interested in financing the forthcoming transaction.

We connect those interested in financing directly with potential buyers.

DEALCIRCLE establishes contact between the interested parties and the sell-side or buy-side.

Our approach

Debt capacity

Based on the cash flow basis (EBIDA - E) of the target company, we analyze its debt capacity and set this in relation to the expected purchase price. We then add standard market financing parameters such as interest rates, terms and repayment structures in order to model a realistic and customized financing structure for your acquisition.

Debt capacity

Financing proposal

The financing structure usually consists of senior debt, equity and other financing elements. Our financing partners take into account funding opportunities from institutions such as guarantee banks and KfW in order to secure optimal conditions for your acquisition.
